Welcome to Animal Head Vintage

Some might say that our devotion to vintage borders on obsession. Let's just say that if we didn't have this shop to relieve a little of the things we buy, we'd be drowning in circle skirts, pinned cardigans and old typewriters.

We try to keep a tightly curated shop, full of unique, interesting, quality vintage items that we think deserve a second life. Our shop is run out of a tiny apartment in San Francisco, and we hope you find something truly awesome while shopping here.

This blog is a place to catalog our love of all things vintage, vintage inspired, and shop-related.
